So I egged some chicken tenders tonight. Half were seasoned with tsunami spin and half were seasoned with plowboys yard bird. The wife and mom complained that both seasonings were too spicy but I loved em both. Any suggestions on a sweetish-neutral rub for chickens. I have tried raging river and was relatively underwhelmed but the family may like it. Any thoughts welcome.

Pretty sure the women will like ragging river. A little bland to me_______________________________________________XLBGE

Try Memphis BBQ Company's general purpose rub. It's in this recipe.

I know it's not the exact recipe Melissa Cookston uses in competition when she is kicking everyone's butts and winning world championships, but it has more of a sweet than heat profile. I like it for a general purpose rub.

Okay. I was waiting for someone to recommend a John Henry rub as that is what my local guy has a lot of.

Try the Greek rub from John Henry. We use it constantly on chicken.XL,L,SWinston-Salem, NC

Or just make up a sweet for chicken rub, there are thousands of 'em out there - or keep buying the overpriced stuff we all fill our spice cabinets with...Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

John Henry has a bourbon rub that is fantastic on chicken and the Texas pig rub is a good general purpose rub.

The JH Pecan rub is very good. But you can make your own: Coffee Rub (turkey, chicken, beef & pork) Equal part: Instant Expresso Ground coffee Equal part: Brown Sugar ½ part: Black Pepper ½ part: Kosher Salt ½ part: Garlic Powder ¾ part: Ancho Chili Powder Don't worry on exact, just close on measurement. I used to use turbinado sugar but we like with brown better. This is pulled from MollyShark, Hungry Man, & Richard In Fl then tweaked. I find the ancho chili powder is far less expensive in the bulk spice area than the bottled area ( have used both light or dark version). I make it starting with a half cup Instant Expresso Ground coffee and work from there as it seems to store well if sealed.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

I really like the BGE Garlic/Black Pepper.

Hmm. Thanks for the suggestions. I would love to make the coffee rub. Might find a good general rub first then branch out once I have mastered the meats with it.

Cluck and Squeal is good on chicken.

tsunami spin isnt all that spicy as in heat at all. i would cook it again, only make half the batch swamp venom, then ask if the tsunami is too spicey

Remember when teachers used to say 'You won't have a calculator everywhere you go'? Well, we showed them.

Try Cluck and Squeal. Nice flavor profile, no heat (i add Texas Select Rattlesnake Dust for heat). C&S is made by a fellow egger from Canada. Email either Hornhonk or me for more info, if interested.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

The Pecan Rub is a light tasting, somewhat sweet rub yet not overly sweet. I also like John Henry's Lemon Pepper with Garlic rub. There's no heat there, just a lot of flavor.XLBGE & LBGENorth Richland Hills, TX

add some turbinado sugar and use less of the rubs with heat. turbinado has a better tolerance for higher grilling temps than table sugar.twww.ceramicgrillstore.com ACGP, Inc.

That is an idea as I did layer it on pretty thick. Thanks for all the great responses.tjv said:add some turbinado sugar and use less of the rubs with heat. turbinado has a better tolerance for higher grilling temps than table sugar.

Traeger Sweet Rub is well liked by my distaff family members.
XXL #82 out of the first 100, XLGE X 2, LBGE (gave this one to daughter 1.0) , MBGE (now in the hands of iloveagoodyoke daughter 2.0) and lots of toys -
I always keep it simple and homemade for chicken.Equal parts bay leaf,corriander and fennel seed ground in a coffee grinder.Maybe a little less bay than the other two as it is a bit stonger.
Saw this on food network years ago and it great and cheap for all chicken,im having it on chicken breast tonight!

Butcher BBQ honey rub is mild as well. Dizzy Pig red eye express is also a coffe based rub. John Henry has several good ones without a lot of bite.
